The Hill News

Gender seemingly knows no politics on Wednesday morning.

Stacy Kerr, special assistant to Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), tweeted a personal message of qualified support for Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who announced her campaign for the Republican presidential nomination on Monday.

Kerr may have been referring to this week's flake flap, when Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Bachmann if she was a "flake."

Bachmann also faced scrutiny following her announcement for apparently confusing John Wayne, the legendary Hollywood star, with John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer, in a reference to Waterloo, Iowa, the location of! her kick-off speech.

Note: Kerr's public Twitter feed is her own and does not reflect the views of Pelosi's office, as indicated in her bio: "opinions don't reflect my boss' or anyone else i work with."
